Autodesk Introduces Forma for Next-Generation Building Design in the Cloud

SAN FRANCISCO, May 8, 2023 /PRNewswire/ – Autodesk, Inc. (NASDAQ: ADSK) has announced the launch of its first set of features for Autodesk Forma, an innovative cloud platform designed to streamline workflows across teams involved in designing, building, and managing the built environment. The initial capabilities of Forma focus on early-stage planning and design, offering automation and AI-driven insights that simplify the exploration of design concepts, reduce repetitive tasks, and help evaluate environmental factors around a building site. This allows architects to concentrate on creative solutions. This release marks the beginning of a continuous evolution for the architecture, engineering, construction, and operations industry cloud, with new features and functionalities regularly added to Forma. “Forma gives architecture professionals the flexibility to work iteratively rather than sequentially between planning and detailed design, significantly boosting their productivity,” said Amy Bunszel, Executive Vice President of Architecture, Engineering, and Construction Design Solutions at Autodesk. “From quickly assessing multiple factors like sun, wind, noise, and energy usage to offloading computational tasks to the cloud and connecting with Revit, Forma provides substantial value to our customers.” Forma enables users to rapidly assess dozens of design options and enhance the desired qualities of a project. It boosts productivity through quick project setup, advanced capabilities without requiring deep technical expertise, and the ability to use data to effectively communicate design visions to stakeholders. These benefits help architecture firms meet client demands more efficiently, deliver higher-quality results, win more bids, and drive business growth. [Embedded video placeholder] Included in Autodesk Forma’s initial capabilities are: - **Contextual Modeling**: Simplifies starting a new BIM project by allowing users to create a 3D model of the entire project area within minutes, using either their own data or purchased datasets. - **Conceptual Design Tools**: Offers freeform building design tools to express creative ideas and generate complex 3D designs quickly. - **Automation**: Accelerates early-stage design exploration with parametric tools, enabling users to develop multiple design variations efficiently. - **Machine Learning**: Performs real-time analyses of key environmental factors such as sunlight, daylight, wind, and microclimate without requiring deep technical knowledge. - **Revit Add-in**: Provides a file-less sync between Forma and Revit, allowing seamless transfer of data for analysis and detailing. CUBE 3, an architecture, interiors, and planning firm, is transitioning its operations to digital, cloud-based solutions to future-proof its business. “We pride ourselves on creating intelligent designs that consider our clients’ needs, budgets, and the environment,” said Tony Fiorillo, Chief Information Officer at CUBE 3. “When evaluating software solutions, we look for ways to improve communication, increase speed to market, allow flexible hybrid working, and adapt quickly to change. Solutions like Autodesk Construction Cloud and Forma offer significant value, giving us unprecedented access to data and helping us work smarter.” With Forma, Autodesk now offers a full end-to-end solution for building design—from early-stage planning through to design in Revit, integrated with its vast ecosystem of connected products including Autodesk Construction Cloud. For existing subscribers, Forma is now included in the Autodesk AEC Collection. “This is just the beginning,” said Bunszel. “I’m excited about the future as we continue to build out Forma, reimagining BIM to focus on achieving outcomes instead of modeling, and connecting data, teams, and workflows across the entire project lifecycle.” Learn more about Autodesk Forma.

Rigid PC Thermoplastic Films

PC polycarbonate Film

Polycarbonate has many special characteristics that other engineering plastics don`t contain, due to the flexible carbonate group and the rigid benzene ring in its molecular structure. Therefore it`s widely used. Due to the specialty in its structure, PC has a range of unique advantages such as excellent light transmittance, relatively high glass transition temperature, desirable chemical modification, easy for physical modification, excellent impact toughness, creep resistance, electrical insinsulation and wheathering resistance.

PC films and sheets that made from polycarbonate have a wide range of temperature (-30~120℃), dimensional stability, excellent comprehensive properties and easy to process, therefore they are very widely applicated.

Products` thickness range from 0.035-6.0mm, width from 915-1530mm, with over a 100 produt types such as general grade, flame retardant grade, colour grade, widely used in areas such as high-speed rail way and aviation, flat panel display and LED lightings etc.
